Team
EDEN GAMES, based in Lyon, France, was founded in 1998 to develop motor racing simulation franchises.
There have been two key stages in the studio’s development:
From 1998 to 2013
Eden created global racing franchises (V-Rally and Test Drive Unlimited) but has also addressed action and adventure franchises (Kya: Dark Lineage), while developing partnerships for internationally recognised licences: Need For Speed Porsche (Electronic Arts), Titeuf (Atari) and Alone In The Dark (Atari).
Since 2013
After a new start, the Company has focused on its racing expertise by creating a new franchise Gear.Club, while also building a partnership with Codemasters and Electronic Arts on the F1 Mobile project.
EDEN is currently working on a number of ambitious, innovative car-games projects available on all the new market platforms.
Eden Games has operated both as an independent studio and also as a subsidiary of famous Publishers such as Atari. We are now part of the Animoca Brands Company.
EDEN GAMES is led by two of its founders, David Nadal and Jean-Yves Geffroy. The team is currently made up of experienced developers and highly motivated young people united by their passion not only for motor racing but also for the latest technologies and creatively-designed video games.
EDEN GAMES is always looking for new talents.
